A Time For Change

Several years ago I found myself in a job I hated and absolutely miserable. I cried everyday on my drive home from work, I was actually contemplating serious surgery so I wouldn’t have to work in that environment.

One Step Closer

Several years ago we had a water/mold incident in our living room. It ended up with us ripping up the whole living room carpet, treating and replacing the floor. At the time money was extremely tight but we needed a functioning living room. I decided to do a paper bag floor. Fast forward to today … Continue reading →

Hurricane Matthew (Go Away!)

I have lived in Savannah for 18 plus years we have had some scares (2004) and only one evacuation before today that was Floyd in 1999.  I did evacuate for Floyd in 1999 it was an adventure to say the least.  I was 2,000 miles from home since I lived on my own and not … Continue reading →
